Beobachtungsdetails
I had meticulously counted 694 Sandhill Cranes standing mostly at the edges of the fields and felt confident with my count until near the end of the afternoon when I saw large flocks of cranes lifting off from the distant fields numbering in the hundreds. Certainly some of them were in my previous count, but many were much farther than I could see on the ground. The ones that I observed up close would slowly walk along the muddy edges of the flooded rice fields and among dead corn stalks foraging for grain, all the while the flock was vocalizing a very melodic honk.
